Best to ask the client to sign off on it -- explain that he (it, in
the case of a corporation) benefitted from the technology, and
benefitted from you writing it to understand the technology, and that
it would a) retain a 'some material contributed by' acknowledgement,
thus being a form of free advertising (if he wants it), and b) go a
long ways to help support the technology that he's benefitting from,
to help understand the deficiencies and make it even better and more
user-friendly.

(Work produced under contract with another entity belongs to that
entity as a 'work for hire', even if it's only partially related.  at
least, that's my understanding of the situation, and since I don't
want to get involved in any copyright disputes, I'd like to make sure
it's okay.)
